Vukčević scored his first goal as a senior on 19 October 2013, netting the first in a 1–2 away loss against Čelik Nikšić. He finished the campaign as an undisputed starter, contributing with two goals in 30 appearances as his side achieved a UEFA Europa League spot.

Vukčević made his European debut on 3 July 2014, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 win at Sanmarinese club Folgore Falciano.[1]

Sevilla

On 14 January 2016 Vukčević moved to Sevilla, signing a three-and-a-half-year deal and being immediately assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[2] He appeared in four matches during the season, as the B-side achieved promotion to Segunda División.

On 23 January 2017, after failing to feature in any appearances for the first half of the campaign, Vukčević was loaned to third division side San Fernando until June.[3]

Rijeka

On 5 February 2021, Vukčević joined HNL Club HNK Rijeka for an undisclosed fee. He would spend 2 years there, appearing in 71 matches and scoring a single goal.
